Great Banjo
Great sound, easy to handle. Holds its tune really good. My first Banjo. I do believe its all I need to play at home and drive the wife crazy....Just added a resonator today. So much better sound. I was scared I wouldn't be able to play the Banjo. Practice has paid off. Don't get discouraged if you purchase this Banjo or any other. Just practice. But I love this Deering Banjo.

Exceeded my expectations
The Deering Banjo plays beautiful right out of the box. Setup was perfect. I allowed it to acclimate to room temperature , tuned it up and it plays and sounds great! I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you much!

Great banjo
This is a great banjo. Lightweight, easy to play, great sound. I had a Recording King w Madison ring and it was very heavy. Sold it and bought this Deering---couldn't be happier. Highly recommend this banjo. Plays and sounds like a more expensive instrument--great value.
